Our Light Beanies are part of our DIFFUSED MANUFACTURING project handmaded one by one by our artisans.
Fabrics are purchased from the most careful suppliers of ZQ-certified merino wool and organic cotton.
The main characteristics of these lightweight, ultra-thin beanies are their low thermicity, great breathability and snug fit.
These features make them particularly pleasant to wear, even under a hood, under an helmet or under a second, more thermal layer.
Their size and very low weight permit to have our beanie with you at all times during summer hiking, via ferrata, climbing and any kind of activity where you may need protection from the wind in water, on the ground, on two wheels or in the air!
If you are looking for lightweight accessories, also take a look at our TUBO lightweight head-bands in very thin merino jersey wool, or our hand-crocheted cotton hats.
The low thermal conductivity of lightweight cotton hat makes these accessories perfect for summertime and any type of activity from zero elevation to the mountains.
Merino wool beanies and underhelmet possess a higher thermality that gives them a greater range of uses both at altitude and in the in-between seasons. Merino wool has breathability but more importantly it dries much faster remaining odorless even without washing. Wool is an excellent yarn that possesses exceptional characteristics that make it perfect for outdoor activities even in summer time in case there are imoortant temperature fluctuations.
Our lightweight beanies are designed for certain outdoor sports activities indicated in the data sheets of individual products, however, in practice we have found that their use can be truly transversal making them indispensable companions both in the most demanding activities and in everyday life when extra soft and light protection is needed.
